The holiday season is short and sweet, so my capsule wardrobe for the season is also short and sweet. I have four key pieces which can be mixed and matched into several outfits, making it versatile, and also great for traveling during this festive season. Love that!

I love a good sparkle during the holidays, and this sweater offers the perfect amount. The sparkling silver stripes allow it to be festive enough for evening yet understated enough for daytime wear. This sweater paired with jeans is the perfect casual, daytime holiday look. Love!

Of course, for dressy casual occasions, or warmer weather, this sparking black top paired with jeans and heels is the ideal mix of celebration vibes and effortless casual. Grab a faux fur jacket from the archives and its casual party ready!

Have I mentioned how comfy this fabulous skirt is? This skirt offers a fun twist on a classic silhouette with this liquid leather (faux leather) fabric. It’s soft, easy to care for, wrinkle resistant, and looks amazing. Paired with a sweater, it is a fabulous cool weather, holiday look. With the black sparkling top, it is ready for any holiday party invite you RSVP to. Love that!

The holiday season is here! This means we all need something fabulous and sparkly in our wardrobe which works well for daytime, evening, and travel events. Yes, travel! I am excited to share this outfit because the top and skirt are not only perfect for all of the holiday parties here at home, but they also pack well.

What do I mean by “they pack well?” Oh! Let me tell you. Clara Sunwoo makes fabulous clothing which is packable! YES! It folds small and doesn’t wrinkle at all. I tested these pieces out by folding them and stuffing them into a packed suitcase. Guess what, they came out perfectly! No wrinkles! Love that!

Since I will be attending holiday events here at home, as well as traveling for the holidays, this outfit is going to serve me well. I also love how you can mix and match these pieces for different events. The “liquid leather” skirt can be worn with a festive, sequin sweater for casual events or a faux fur jacket for cool, evening events. The top looks amazing with pants and jeans for daytime events. This makes them perfect for my mix-and-match wardrobe! Love it!

Of course, Clara Sunwoo has more than just party attire on her website. If you have travel plans, or just want fuss-free clothing, go check out her entire collection. Everything is packable! Love that!

Can you believe it is already November? The year has been flying by! As we look forward to the upcoming holiday season, it is clear that we all need to shop early this year! Thanksgiving is on the late side which means there is less time between turkey day and Christmas. This is the perfect reason to shop now. That way, once Thanksgiving hits, all we have to do is eat and have fun! Love that!

I know I tell you to shop early every year, but seriously, it is the best feeling to be done by Thanksgiving. I have already started! So, if you aren’t quite sure where to start, I have started publishing my gift guides. There will be new ones every week leading up to Thanksgiving. Let me know if you have someone hard to shop for on your list. I am happy to give you suggestions! You can DM me on Instagram or send me an email.

Wondering what’s hot this year? Both of the soft bucket bags pictured above are priced under $200 and are currently the IT bag style of the moment. The slouchy bucket bag isn’t a fleeting trend, so don’t worry about only wearing it for one season. This will be a fabulous style to wear and well into next year and beyond. Therefore, it is a great gift to give or buy for oneself. Love!

Holiday nail polish, classic footwear, wide leg jeans, cozy sweaters, and the anonymous handbag are all hot right now. Plus, they are investment items. I love creating a wardrobe you can build on each season rather than replace. We have all moved beyond being wasteful and into the era of sustainability. Love that!
